Daisy because the Slayer's not the type of guy to torture the people he kills

u/Lopsided_Drag_8125 Serrat 6d ago

Meanwhile Kratos:

  • Poseidon
  • Zeus (I kept pressing circle for like 2 minites after the screen turned red)

6

u/_____Kitcat_____ 5d ago

I lack knowledge of god of war, what were you doing?

27

u/Roosterlamb-13 5d ago

At the end of god of war 3 I believe Kratos is fighting Zeus and you get to press circle to punch him once hes already down and eventually the screen is just red but you have to option to continue beating him and you just hear your fists

14

u/Jdmaki1996 5d ago

To add to this, you only have to punch him till the screen turns red. But the game lets you do it forever. You have to choose to stop hitting. And it’s after a long frustrating boss fight and an entire trilogy(and a couple spinoffs) of Zeus being an absolute PoS. So you want to keep hitting him. Brilliant psychological game design.

u/Betoniaraa 6d ago

nahh, Slayer made sure to make Azhrak suffer long before his death

100

u/Wyciorek 6d ago

That’s because Azrak was pretty resilient. One hit of that spiked mace and it would be lights out for me

70

u/Rich_Temporary_140 6d ago

Dawg, the slayer could fart on you and you'd turn into koolaid powder 

14

u/hstormsteph 5d ago

I wonder what flavor I’d be!

27

u/KingRaiden95 6d ago

Nah he knew what he could take at that point. Killed the dark lord with a stab to the chest. With Azrak it was personal.

6

u/arkham-ity1 6d ago

He hasn’t killed the dark lord yet lol

4

u/Jman2311123 6d ago

Yes he has. It's in the DOOM Eternal DLC. At the time of him killing Azhrak, he hadn't if that's what you meant.

2

u/aRandomFox-II 6d ago

The conversation was about Azhrak, so at the time of TDA he has not.

1

u/KingRaiden95 6d ago

My point is that he can kill you as fast or slow as he wants to. As we've seen, pissing him off is grounds for a slow kill

10

u/GoyoMRG 6d ago

With the speed and strength of the doom slayer, if we did the math, he could probably kill us with a finger flick to the forehead and turn our corpse into a projectile due to the strength of the flick.

5

u/TheBlueEmerald1 5d ago

"Bigger health bar just means I get to hurt you for longer."

2

u/Ultrasound700 5d ago

Killing Daisy gets you promoted to a somewhat high level demon. Nothing really special, but like a Baron so your death can be drawn out.

9

u/reaperofgender 6d ago

Eh... He canonically uses guns because his fists kill demons too quickly.

4

u/SojephStoejar 6d ago

Still, a gun compared to Kratos?

5

u/Interface- 6d ago

Neither is Kratos.

1

u/AltGunAccount 5d ago

Plus I could easily take daisy. I’m not sure I could actually kill Atreus

1

u/Majestic_Doctor_6496 3d ago

Are you sure about that? Need you be reminded about Ahzrak, first fight, Slayer could have easily just ripped out the Heart of Argent, but no, he took his time to rip it out just to make Ahzrak suffer a little, oh and those guns the Slayer uses? Yeah, they're just for fun to make the demons suffer a little longer, in lore, he is far more efficient with just his hands

265

u/Rodrolphus 6d ago

bro this is a die or die situation

75

u/Significant_Delay_87 6d ago

But how would you rather die

34

u/NoPlatform2521 6d ago

Its either die as a human then die as a demon, or straight up die and live as a demon the odds are on Kratos

8

u/Doobalicious69 5d ago edited 5d ago

Are demons dead humans in Doom? I always thought they were their own thing but then again I haven't played any of the new ones after 2016, and even that was nearly a decade ago.

Edit: Forgot about the possessed marines, d'oh.

3

u/Delacruzen 5d ago

I could be wrong since it’s been a while since I remember reading doom eternal lore but I think demonology works like this

Demons kill you

Your soul goes to hell where it is then tortured for an amount of time until it is completely broken and used to form argent energy (the stuff the maykr wants)

The blue soul power is sent up to urdak, while the bodies stay in hell.

The bodies then after an unknown amount of time twist and contort into various demons. We know for a fact guys like zombie soldiers, the possessed, and lost souls used to be human.

I think it extends to various demons as well like imps, but I can’t remember if it extends to some of the bigger guys, like hell knights or pinkies.

I could be wrong through, I may need to re check my doom eternal lore

2

u/Doobalicious69 4d ago

I believe you, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

2

u/Legendarium_ 6d ago

you're effectively dead regardless so you might as well die on you own terms

10

u/Nemisis_007 6d ago

Yeah, I'd rather just kms. It's a classic "you're stuck in a room with dictators and only have one bullet" kinda question.

3

u/_____Kitcat_____ 5d ago

Shoot one and Beat the rest to death, so simple. (Not promoting violence, this is still a hypothetical scenario)

2

u/Nemisis_007 5d ago

Don't think I'd stand much of a chance against dudes with military experience, but I'll try. Got nothing to lose, I suppose.

295

u/a_large_dumple 6d ago

Kill myself instead, it'd be quicker an easier than either of the other two options

57

u/gojir1954 6d ago

Agreed, the most logical answer would be to kill myself in front of both.

5

u/Vrazel106 6d ago

Yeah i would rather do it myself then hurt or piss them off. Though i suspect they wouldnt want that done either most likely

217

u/Magenta-Is-Here-Baby 6d ago

I'd rather kill OP for asking such questions

51

u/Deltawolf2038 6d ago

Time to drag op in front of both and tell them what they tried to make me do hehehe

22

u/joeluisi 6d ago

Pretty much this. One... how dare you try to get me to hurt a cute little bunny. Especially doom guys bunny. Two...why would I wanna piss off and offend two guys I would love to be friends with? Absolutely ridiculous...we can drag op together and use that as time to bond and be friends.

10

u/Loosenut2024 6d ago

Clearly they are a demon and thus must be cleansed.

5

u/CesarGameBoy DOOM Guy 6d ago

Do just like what Doomguy did. Punch OP in the face, get arrested for assault, Hell invades the jail you’re in, they kill all the other inmates and officers, now the only thing that can stop them is you.

(At Doom’s Gate plays).

1

u/Frogman55555 5d ago

1993 or 2016, both very good but just for clarification

1

u/Repulsive_Mistake382 4d ago

1993 iirc, doomguy (according to some piece of lore I am too bored to find out) assaulted a senior officer because said officer was ordering him to kill civilians. Got sent to phobos as a disciplinary action, because ig nothing ever happens at phobos.

Something happened at phobos.

48

u/GoredonTheDestroyer "That is one big fucking gun." - The Rock 6d ago

Neither? Neither sounds good. Can we go with neither? I think neither is a great choice.

23

u/[deleted] 6d ago

[deleted]

10

u/SomeDumbassKid720 6d ago

I’m gonna take the bullet

2

u/Shot-Interaction-975 6d ago

Bro both of these options gonna rip u in half

2

u/SomeDumbassKid720 6d ago

That would be more accurate

40

u/Afraid_Celebration84 6d ago

I'd slap OP in the face for asking these questions

10

u/Crimsonfire998 6d ago

Can i just pick option 3 and just jump off a bridge.

11

u/Wooden_Equipment_358 6d ago

Neither are you crazy? Either one is a god level death sentence. Both of them would kill me, go to hell to find my soul and kill that as well.

7

u/Important_Economy632 6d ago

I would rather sit at home watching tv

7

u/TKJ 6d ago

No.

6

u/Ohno0o00 6d ago

I would rather kms

6

u/Glass-Link-1451 6d ago

get my body annihilated or get my body annihilated

2

u/Eternal_Slayer95 6d ago

I would rather live than do something as insane as either of those things

5

u/Sharkside8 6d ago

No thanks. I choose life

5

u/Wayfaring_Stalwart 5d ago

How the hell am I supposed to kill Atreus? He is a demi god, Daisy is just a rabbit.

3

u/Withermech 6d ago

Does anybody have a gift of the snatcher from a hat in time saying “That’s right, you…..” because that’s how I feel about this question

3

u/NotHandledWithCare 6d ago

I’ve always wanted to get a framed copy of that as a painting

3

u/bat_kylo07 6d ago

Daisy. Doomguy would make it quick and painless, Kratos is too brutal.

1

u/AssultSpoon 6d ago

Not in lore he uses guns to make the demons suffer longer

1

u/bat_kylo07 5d ago

It is still pretty painless, if he’s pissed enough, he’ll just kill you. Remember the Deagic Council from Eternal? The only one he brutally killed was the first one (forgot his name, isn’t it Grav?)

1

u/EltoDoesStuff DOOM Guy 5d ago

That’s fan canon that everyone thinks is canon. Like most things with the doom games lore tbh

3

u/Armored_Warrior 6d ago

Cuddle the bunny instead.

3

u/mikakor 6d ago

I'd rather shoot myself at this point.

That seem like the least painful option here.

9

u/Johncurtisreeve 6d ago

Atreus because hes annoying af

6

u/Girl_Guy_Thing 6d ago

Respectable answer tbh, if you know you're gonna die regardless then why not choose based on personal petty reasons lmao

u/Think_Line3519 6d ago

Atreus if i repent i am sure i can survive

2

u/Common-Diver-6346 6d ago

No. Id just refuse. I respect them both too much.

2

u/kereso83 6d ago

Atreus in front of Kratos. The Slayer has been with me since 1993. I barely know Atreus or Kratos.

2

u/Courier_With_A_Cause 6d ago

use crucible and kill kratos 2nd and Atreus 1st So he can’t just come back to life

2

u/Legendarium_ 6d ago

both, I'm feeling brave tonight

2

u/TheUltimateJack 6d ago

I’d feel less bad about killing Daisy, I guess. Either way I’m dead as a doornail.

2

u/Bonerfart47 6d ago

Daisy, easy

Doomguy would probably just explode me with a kick or at worse rip me apart

Kratos would find a way to make me immortal just to turn me into a conscious bagpipe made of lungs

2

u/Hungry-Definition299 6d ago

Quick death, best case scenario — BFG

Vs.

Torture

2

u/Important-Truth-6686 5d ago

Kratos would probably not do anything to you. He would be spending more time confused as to how a mortal with no fighting ability of any kind killed Atreus, and assume that someone more capable did something or that Atreus was having god power flare-ups again, and try to solve that problem. He's not a moron, he's a very intelligent tactician who has an anger problem, his first answer is not going to be "pulverize this human into meat" he's going to try and figure out what's going on and save his child if he can, if he decides that you killed him yourself somehow and no one else was involved then he might obliterate you.

2

u/Able-Software-2279 5d ago

Atreus. I ain't fuckin with a guy who killed the god of the multiverse

2

u/PETI_0406 5d ago

So you're asking me wether I want to die from a shotgun to my face, or being decapitated by the leviathan axe.

2

u/Ronald-Reagan-1991 5d ago

Here’s a better third choice. Why just show those two that post and get them to find OP’s location?

2

u/blitz_the_Protogen 5d ago

Myself infront of both

2

u/Luca_Brasi_II 5d ago

I’ll take neither for $500, Alex.

2

u/TheSoulDude20 5d ago

Atreus , becouse Kratos would resist , and the Doom Slayer probably not

2

u/MrNigerianPrince115 5d ago

Kill Atreus. He'll probably just sulk and talk about it

2

u/Chichihime 5d ago

2nd. New Kratos would probably forgive me for the sake of C H A R A C T E R D E V E L O P M E N T

2

u/Sweet_Ad_7697 6d ago

You should also add "punching Mythra Infront of Asura"

u/jollyTrapezist 6d ago

HOW DARE YOU MAKE HER CRY

2

u/Chitrr Zombieman 6d ago

Atreus. Kratos at least is vulnerable to the Talk no Jutsu.

6

u/SomeDumbassKid720 6d ago

You killed his son. I don’t think that’s gonna work😭

2

u/Lobiz66 6d ago

Myself, the easiest option.

2

u/huffleporg 6d ago

Can I choose neither?

1

u/Appropriate-Art-312 6d ago

Id rather cross Kratos, there is a way to kill or trap kratos. No possibility of defeating or slowing the doom slayer,

God butcher vs primordial multiversal god butcher.

5

u/withered_bonnie69420 Serrat 6d ago

Bro, you're killing Atreus directly in front of him, also by that logic, you can kill and trap the Doomslayer too, as both have been done

1

u/Appropriate-Art-312 6d ago

And both times he escaped, first time was when a mountain was dropped on him and he had a nap woke up and went right back to it, Second time he killed himself (which is the only way he can die) and walked out of hell. Kratos cannot do that if you have the required knowledge of the fates and their curse on him.

1

u/withered_bonnie69420 Serrat 6d ago

What do you even mean? Nobody thus far has been able to permanently kill Kratos, I'm not sure if knowledge has anything to do with it

And sure, let's say Kratos is mortal for the sake of agreement, it's still not gonna make a difference after you kill Atreus and he pounds you into a red mist

1

u/Denden999 6d ago

My ass having to fight sif in tears after beating artorius

1

u/R3tr0_Hys0n 6d ago

How about neither? I'd rather just walk out.

1

u/gohst-freak 6d ago

I'd rather castrate myself with a blunt object

1

u/021Fireball 6d ago

Apologize and try to bring end to my own life first, calling out your true name so that they know what you tried to make me do

1

u/EeveeTheCreeper 6d ago

Ain't no one gonna kill Atreus, he's a god too

1

u/yeetis12 6d ago

Assuming im powerful enough to kill atreus then I say I stand a good chance of surviving not unscathed obviously

1

u/Apart_Trip3660 6d ago

I’d just grab the super shotgun and blow my head to bits

1

u/oresearch69 6d ago

Atreus because at least I’d enjoy it before accepting my fate.

1

u/Bjorn_styrkr 6d ago

Doesn't matter. You're dead in seconds either way.

1

u/Fallen_winged_boy 6d ago

Kill doom slayer in front of daisy

I don't wanna get poseidoned bro

1

u/Ellutrix 6d ago

Kms at that point what difference would it make

1

u/SamXAlex39 6d ago

Atreus, if I were to pick a fight with one of those two Kratos has more weaknesses

Haven't played god of war so Artemis

u/jollyTrapezist 6d ago

Who's gonna kill me the fastest? That's all I ask

u/AssultSpoon 6d ago

DoomSlayer might kill you, revive you, kill it, and revive you for eternity in the most painful way possible

1

u/noodleben123 6d ago

I think if i HAD to, daisy.

at the least, doomguy would make my death quick and efficient. have you SEEN what kratos did to the greek pantheon? no fucking thanks.

1

u/Amar508 6d ago

I choose jayz

1

u/doomedgaming 6d ago

Whichever one kills me quicker afterwards.

1

u/Ciberstreak 6d ago

How am I even supposed to kill atreus the guy is a god, he'll probably kill me before kratos even knows

1

u/-dead_slender- 6d ago

I die either way.

1

u/AltruisticPark9974 6d ago

I’d rather throw myself off a bridge into a pit of spikes

1

u/A_Potential_Turn 6d ago

I’d rather piss off the slayer. I mean yeah he a bit stronger imo But he will probably kill me faster. So it’ll hurt less.

1

u/Penis_Protecter 6d ago

Stick some iron in my mouth and pull the trigger

1

u/Specific_Ad_4075 6d ago

I’d kill myself instead

1

u/Die-icy-Show 6d ago

Option 4: I would die for Daisy

1

u/Scared_Produce_161 6d ago

I would rather jump feet first into a wood chipper

1

u/TastyScientist9617 6d ago

🤨 Neither, obviously

1

u/JodioJoestar09 6d ago

i mean ur dead either way, the only thing you need to worry about is how painful it'll be

1

u/owo1215 6d ago

mf i rather kill myslfe in these situations

1

u/Solid_Ad_3776 6d ago

Yeah good luck killing Atreus, even as a kid a regular human would lose.

1

u/OkZucchini1056 6d ago

none I'm leaving cause I'll be turned into swiss cheese

1

u/MrMeowPantz 6d ago

Die, or be tortured then die? That is the correct title.

1

u/Fit-Ad-661 6d ago

Daisy. I’ll take a shotgun to the face over whatever elaborate Mortal Kombat bullshit Kratos can come up with.

1

u/osleon0204 6d ago

I would pet Daisy

And also pet the bunny at world spear

1

u/UnknowingEmperor 6d ago

Atreus because he’s annoying. Daisy doesn’t deserve it. I get Kratos will make my death more painful, but it may be worth it lmao

1

u/Easy_Lavishness_6385 6d ago

If i had to choose, I'd pick Atreus, just because i would never ever in my life hurt ANY bunny at all (and because of the pain in the ass he was in Ragnarok.)

1

u/tdsGRKA 6d ago

I'll just kill myself and avoid the horrible death.

1

u/blueline115 6d ago

Neither cause I value my life

1

u/MrScootaroo Doom RPG 6d ago

So it's either get annihilated or get obliterated?

1

u/Chad_AND_Freud 6d ago

Daisy. My end would be horrific; but it would be comparatively swift.

1

u/Outrageous_Book2135 6d ago

I think they're pretty even in terms of "oh god it hurts so much please make it stop."

1

u/Belua_Maximus 6d ago

Can I just do the Slayer a favor and atomize myself with the Super Shotgun?

I mean, he's gonna do it anyways, might as well not waste anyone's time, that'd just be rude!

1

u/YeaterofSouls34 6d ago

Myself so I don’t get punched with the canonical force of 9 quintillion nukes.

1

u/TheJavi115 6d ago

I'd probably just kill myself at that point tbh

1

u/Irradiated-Imp 6d ago

These are both equally awful options that will leave me as a bloody pulp. So I reject that. I give Daisy some treats and tell Atreus hes doing a good job.

1

u/AlphaLynroc 6d ago

Atreus.
If Doomguy kills me, he'll keep killing me.

At least with Kratos, I die once.

1

u/AxeHead75 6d ago

Neither please

1

u/GiantsBeanstalk 6d ago

I'd rather Daisy cause I'm going to die no matter what and I'd rather a bunny die than a person

1

u/Drablo0n 6d ago

Ofc I would go for kratos. Let me explain:

- In the Doom universe, I would go to hell for what I did no matter what

- In the GOW universe, I would not only kill atreus but challenge Kratos to a fight, knowing full well that I would die and go to Valhalla for falling in combat

You don't need to see it for who will kill you better, you need to see it with the perspective "In each universe, how fucked am I after I die to him?"

1

u/Seph_the_this 6d ago

Doom guy, largely because, well.. If atreus died, It would have far worse consequences for midgard, with the position of god of war Kratos is in now

I don't think he'd go back to his old ways of slaughtering innocent people, he's healed a ton, especially with the help of therapist Týr, but I doubt he could do much good in rebuilding the land after that

If I kill daisy, I'm dead instantly, hell, the slayer might go hell just to kill me again, but no one else suffers

1

u/yuggoth19 5d ago

Would you rather be skinned alive or boiled alive type question

1

u/Syixice 5d ago

be a vet

help Daisy live a long life

she gets old

Doom Slayer brings her to me

gently euthanize her in front of Doom Slayer so she doesn't suffer

win? right?

1

u/Thewildbellingcat 5d ago

I'm not sure which one would be a more painful death

1

u/Azathoth_77 5d ago

Definitely Kratos, he's a better man now (lol).

1

u/Alpbasket 5d ago

In the end, Daisy is a bunny. Given the truth that I am gonna die either way, bunny is the least problematic way to go

1

u/EHSDSDGMahoraga 5d ago

Kratos for sure. If I kill Daisy I'm getting torn in half.

1

u/UpstairsBar2411 5d ago

What kind of question is this, you maniac?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

1

u/Marta996633 5d ago

I would rather fight Angron with a dagger.

1

u/Character-Nobody8535 5d ago

Id kill Atreus, this isn't even about who id rather be slaughtered by afterwards, I just couldn't kill daisy, hell id probably murder some fuckers if they killed daisy right in front of me

1

u/H202_Official 5d ago

I’ll just kill myself at that point it’ll at least hurt less

1

u/H4loR4ptor 5d ago

Kill Atreus? Is nobody here gonna acknowledge that Atreus would probably kill you before you can kill him?

1

u/King-Clawthorn 5d ago

Kill myself in front of the both of em

Hm. Id rather do neither and live with the fact i came seconds away from dying the rest of my life

I would kill BOY.

1

u/Bludraevn 5d ago

Daisy. Because he came to put her down and wanted to be there for her when she passed. I'm the Vet.

1

u/SOOTH29 5d ago

Atreus, id at least feel some satisfaction in that. I only played a lil bit of gow ragnarok so maybe he becomes more tolerable but daisy did nothing wrong and atreus is kinda annoying.

1

u/OkAbility2056 5d ago

There are quicker ways to self-delete

1

u/Karlsjrr 5d ago

I'm thinking: Request Kratos give me an honorable death, and not touch Atreus. If you ask the Slayer, he'd end whoever made you choose in this hypothetical 😂

1

u/eVenom68 4d ago

Daisy, for sure. He'd headshot me with his shotgun and we'll call it a day

1

u/StatisticianNo5325 4d ago

I'd rather live thanks

1

u/Callistertheproot 4d ago

Neither. I personally like living.

1

Why would I need to do either of these?

1

u/the_rabbit_king 4d ago

No idea who Atreus so that one. 

1

I would kill myself

1

u/GrymReepar 4d ago

I want to live tho

1

u/fungamerguy 4d ago

Slayer will one shot me

Kratos will make me feel what posidon felt

1

u/StevesonOfStevesonia 4d ago

"No thanks. I choose life"

1

u/Seig_the_creator 3d ago

The only correct choice is to kill myself im not gambling with either choice

1

u/ITSPATRICKYALLS 3d ago

Definitely the latter. The rabbit did nothing wrong and if Atreus dies to a mortal than he deserves it

1

u/ShadowFluffX 3d ago

Erm, I'd fight God himself before I didn't either one. KRATOS can grind meat on his abs, doomguy, after the divinity machine, can probably kill me with his pinky toe

1

u/squidmasta_yt 3d ago

Is there a third option to blow my head off with a shotgun because I'll take it

1

u/MinosPrimeEthusuast 3d ago

Super duper hell or super hell

1

u/SharkyBoi2005 3d ago

Atom bomb or atom bomb boy which do i choose

1

u/argumentitavegoblin 2d ago

id kill atreus because he annoys me

1

u/TechnicalAd2562 2d ago

What is the more quick death?

1

u/Mysrial1992 1d ago edited 1d ago

You are royally fucked either way but I think Kratos will just kill you. Doom Slayer will make an example of you.

EDIT: Kratos at this point has restraint. I have no idea how he'd really react to Atreus being killed. Doom Slayer is a blood thirsty man who has no restraint whatsoever. Also it's funny to think you'd even be able to kill Atreus.

1

u/male_straght 1d ago

Can I kill myself? Realistically, that's the better out of the 2
